Beer is the Reason: Frankenstein ain't far behind

Adult stem cell research looks to be giving a new lease on life for cancer patients. Using the techniques as described in the linked article, the procedure makes sense. Instead of having major invasive surgery to remove a lung, doctors prepped a bronchile tube seeded with stem cells from the patient and replaced that small offending part instead. Now she has both working lungs and is on her way to full recovery.

Next on the agenda is the realization of the three breasted(or was it six breasted) woman from that Arnold movie about mutants on Mars.

Is Frankenstein Jewish? I mean with a name like Frankenstein, I would think that he was.
